Join us on October 19, 2025 at Volvo Cars Annapolis from 6 - 9 PM for MFA's biggest fundraiser! Tickets on sale now! Sponsored by Volvo Cars Annapolis.

Paint Annapolis

For 24 years, Paint Annapolis has been a premier painting event, bringing the community together to share in the beauty of painting outdoors.

MFA Connects

MFA sponsors an artist working directly from their own studio! Our featured artist will be working on a project related to an MFA exhibition that will open for entry towards the end of their six-month residency. This program will create a direct connection between the artist and you through a series of videos, live chats, panel discussions and weekly social media posts about their progress and how they manage all of their art commitments.

We maintain the oldest continuously operating non-profit gallery in the state.

Become a Collector

Find artwork you love by getting to know our artists. Why buy generic art for your home when you can have original artwork you choose, not work chosen for you.

Artists: Find the right place for you

Find the Exhibition Opportunity that’s right for you. We provide artists with many different types of exhibition opportunities at our varied venues so you’ll find what type of location and/or exhibition works for you.

Come see for yourself

Stop by MFA galleries to change up the day to day. Get your art fix without having to go to a big city.

We have a lot of PARTIES!

Yes, totally cliché but true, we love cheese and wine. The best part about that: we share!
Come to our Sunday receptions and mingle, enjoy, and shop!

Get involved!

You don’t have to be an artist to join in all the MFA festivities. You can volunteer with us, attend our events, and give back to the community by helping us grow and keep art alive in our communities.

Give and you shall receive

Our fundraisers are designed to not only keep our doors open but to give back to our supporters. Its all about art and artists…art on our walls, art on your walls…and doesn’t everyone love art!

Art in Maryland is building a bridge between people, ideas, and perceptions.

New art inspires new ideas.
Ideas have the power to transform our understanding of what tomorrow can be.
Ideas can also inspire growth: the growth of our cities, our communities, and each individual who resides there.
